~ Rachel you are our Angel, my dear sweet Angel.

 

 

Rachel's passing shocked and saddened all who knew her. Our family grieves her loss daily. We search our souls daily for some meaning as to why this had to happen. We strive to get through each day and to remember her as she was. The memories Are Happy yet sad, comforting yet painful.

 

Rachel was born in Prince Rupert, B.C. She graduated from Charles Hays Secondary School. At age 20 she moved to Vancouver, B.C. After attending college in Vancouver, B.C. she planned on studying overseas. She was always excited and cheerful about her plans.

 

How she loved Vancouver, this was her new home and this is where her new beginnings were! Rachel worked in retail shops, and other various jobs while she made her decisions in what she woudl major in, in college/university. She enjoyed her independence and freedom, living life to the fullest.

 

After some thought she decided that she wanted to work in forensics, possibly completing her studies overseas. Rachel enrolled back into Langara College this fall ('04)  in Vancouver with her studies directed towards forensics and psychology.

 

Besides working and going to school Rachel still found time to continue to enjoy photography in her free time which was one of her favorite hobbies. She was very creative and gifted in her photography and shared her pictures by framing some favorites and presenting them as gifts to her family and friends.

 

We must remember her for her mischievous sense of humor, her love for life, her ability to touch people, her ablility to conquer the obstacles in her life, her strength, her independence, her compassion, her readiness to help her friends and family, her infectious laugh and twinkling eyes that could make you smile even when you were sad, AND her hugs, she gave the best hugs.

 

We feel cheated that she was taken away from us so young. God only granted her part of her life here on earth, yet we must be grateful that she came along at all. Only now that she is gone do we appreciate what we are now without. We give thanks for the beautiful girl that we could call our daughter, our sister, our grand daughter, our aunt, our niece, our cousin, our friend, our love.

 

We will cherish the time we shared with Rachel and the memories that we made. We must cherish and hold dear to our hearts that she became our best friend. The beautiful, the caring, the irreplaceable Rachel Nicole Adams, who's beauty both external and internal will never be extinguished from our minds and hearts.

 

Rachel was bright, fun, and a constant insperation! Her cheerfulness was contagious! In her short life, Rachel shared love and laughter with us all! She was known by all as an energetic, clear-headed, intelligent and talented girl within whom  the spark of genius glowed. She had many interests and hobbies. She loved photography and computers, often deviating from the "Norm" she was not confind by societal  boundries.

 

Her kind and clever character provided us with constant appreciation for life. She had the knack of knowing just what to say and just how to make you smile. She was relied upon for her high spirits and lively imagination.

 

We don't know Mark Rempel personally, but we know in our hearts that he must have been someone very special and dear to her, for her to have chosen to be with him.

 

In closing I must share this with you. Rachel loved reading and writing poetry. She loved music, dance, laughter... She was the true epitome of the verse, "Lives of great poeple reminds us, we can make our lives sublime, and in the deparitng leave behind footprints on the sands of time, I want to leave footprints of love."

 

I belive Rachle touched all of us in some special way, and that she did truly leave behind for us - Footprints of love.

 

WE MISS AND LOVE YOU RACHEL!! XOXOXOXO

 

She will live on in the hearts and minds of all those who knew her.

Rachel was a very confused person, not confused in where she was but more so in where she was going... Always seemed to see her self in that moment and not seeing any light leading her in to the future. She enjoyed many things in life. Although one of the biggest would have to be Music if not the biggest one of all. She loathed and would almost die for at one time in her life to marry Mr.Trent Reznor (Nine Inch Nails) She always told me that him and his music is what helped her through parts of her life and how she seemed so close and related so well to what he wrote and sang about in his music. I would say that almost every day I would hear at least one Nin song played at one time or another. She came to have a rather broad selection. Personally I was not as familiar with her most recent collection; although I know she did like the Industrial/Goth esk tunes. Nine inch nails, tool, marilyn manson, Joy Division, deftones, Aphex Twin, Depeche Mode, The Cure...etc. As well she did like the more mellowish stuff too kinda a chill kinda drum and bass.... Sorry not realy sure what they call it or what its called. But I do know she liked to put on some music, sit back, and just get lost in the song. More offten I would say it was a excape for her. Not from anything I can say imparticular but just in general... LIFE!

 

Time goes on by and yet I still have that empty feeling just knowing your not around, and that I don't and wont have the chance to just possibly run into you somewhere sometime. Im left with this low down emptyness in my chest. I miss you! More then you knew I thought about you all the time, and wonder if you thought of me too? All these questions that will forever be left unknown and un answered. I find my self sitting here thinking of the past... hard to believe and understand... hard to move on into the future. Kinda lost not knowing your not here anymore. Even though we were not as close as we or maybe just I had wanted but I still have a place in my heart for you... ALWAYS!

Pictures Of You

-The Cure

i've been looking so long at these pictures of
you that i almost beleive that they're real i've
been living so long with my pictures of you that
i almost believe that the pictures are all i can
feel

Remembering you standing quiet in the rain as
i ran to your heart to be near and we kissed as
the sky fell in holding you close how i always
held close in your fear remembering you
running soft through the night you were bigger
and brigther than the snow and screamed at the make-beleive screamed at the sky and you finally found all your courage to
let it all go

remembering you fallen into my arms crying
for the death of your heart you were stone
white so delicate lost in the cold you were
always so lost in the dark remembering you
how you used to be slow drowned you were
angels so much more than everything oh hold
for the last time then slip away quietly open
my eyes but i never see anything

if only i had thought of the right words i could
have hold on to your heart if only i'd thought of
the right words i wouldn't be breaking apart all
my pictures of you

Looking So long at these pictures of you but i
never hold on to your heart looking so  long for
the words to be true but always just breaking
apart my pictures of you

there was nothing in the world that i ever
wanted more than to feel you deep in my heart
there was nothing in the world that i ever
wanted more than to never feal the breaking apart all my pictures of you
